Calibration of an Astrophysical Spectrograph below 1 m/s using a Laser Frequency Comb

Author(s)
David F. Phillips, Alexander G. Glenday, Chih-hao Li, Claire E. Cramer, Gabor Furesz, Guoquing Chang, Andrew Benedick, Li-Jin Chen, F X. Kaertner, Sylvain G. Korzennik, Dimitar Sasselov, Andrew Szentgyorgyi, Ronald L. Walsworth
We deployed two wavelength calibrators based on laser frequency combs ("astro-combs") at an astronomical observatory. One astro-comb operated over a 100 nm band...

On the need for an international effort to capture, share and use crystallisation screening data (failure and success)

Author(s)
David Gallagher, Janet Newman, Evan E. Bolton, Jochen M?Dieckmann, Vincent J. Fazio, David Lovell, Joseph R. Luft, Thomas S. Peat, David Ratcliffe, Roger A. Sayle, Edward H. Snell, Kerry Taylor, Pascal Vallotton, Sameer Velankar, Frank V. Delft
Crystallisation of biological macromolecules is seen by most structural biologists as a necessary evil, a means to the end, which is knowledge about a...

Pulse Metrology, Part II

Author(s)
Nicholas G. Paulter Jr., Donald R. Larson
Pulse metrology refers to the science of the measurement of pulses, which are transient phenomena. This article describes concepts important for pulse metrology...

Quantum Algorithms for Quantum Field Theories

Author(s)
Stephen P. Jordan, Keith S. Lee, John Preskill
Quantum field theory reconciles quantum mechanics and special relativity, and plays a central role in many areas of physics. We develop a quantum algorithm to...

Calibration of Laminar Flow Meters for Process Gases

Author(s)
John D. Wright, Thiago Cobu, Robert F. Berg, Michael R. Moldover
We calibrated three models of commercially-manufactured, laminar flow meters (LFMs) at four pressures (100 kPa, 200 kPa, 300 kPa, and 400 kPa) with five gases...

Strain and Magnetic-Field Characterization of a Bronze-Route Nb3Sn ITER Wire: Benchmarking of Strain Measurement Facilities at NIST and University of Twente

Author(s)
Najib Cheggour, Arend Nijhuis, H J. Krooshoop, Xifeng Lu, Jolene D. Splett, Theodore C. Stauffer, Loren F. Goodrich, Matthew C. Jewell, Arnaud Devred, Y Nabara
A benchmarking experiment was conducted to compare strain measurement facilities at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University...

Stray light correction algorithm for multi-spectral hyperspectral spectrographs

Author(s)
Michael Feinholz, Stephanie J. Flora, Steven W. Brown, Yuqin Zong, Keith R. Lykke, Mark A. Yarbrough, B. Carol Johnson, D. K. Clark
An algorithm is developed to correct a multi-channel fiber-coupled spectrograph for stray or scattered light within the system. The efficacy of the algorithm is...

Memristors with Flexible Electronic Applications

Author(s)
Nadine Gergel-Hackett, Joseph L. Tedesco, Curt A. Richter
In addition to the potential for memristors to be used in logic, memory, smart interconnects, and biologically-inspired architectures that could transform...

Measurements and Standards for Bulk-Explosive Detection

Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, Fred B. Bateman, Paul M. Bergstrom, Frank Cerra, Jack L. Glover, Ronaldo Minniti, Stephen M. Seltzer, Ronald E. Tosh
Due to the ease of assembly and leveraged disruptive effect, the improvised explosive device (IED) is the method of choice of today’s terrorist. With more than...

The Peierls Substitution in an Engineered Lattice Potential

Author(s)
Karina K. Jimenez Garcia, Lindsay J. LeBlanc, Ross A. Williams, Matthew C. Beeler, Abigail R. Perry, Ian B. Spielman
Artificial gauge fields open new possibilities to realize quantum many-body systems with ultracold atoms, by constructing Hamiltonians usually associated with...
